Abstract

Nanotechnology deals with features as small as a 1 billionth of a meter, began to enter into mainstream physical sciences and engineering some 20 years ago. Recent applications of nanoscience, now a days include the use of nanoscale materials in electronics, catalysis, and biomedical research. The scientists around the world have revealed the facts associated with the nanotechnology by accepting the technology. The applications of this technology have paved a great emphasis on the biomedical applications. Many drugs falling into different categories like, anti-cancer, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, etc. have been successfully loaded to the nano-sized delivery systems. In the present article we have emphasize the importance of some of the applied nanoparticles for the delivery of the drug and at the same time for the diagnosis too.
